Friends of Metalwerx Scholarships

These scholarships cover 75% of the cost of tuition for a specific workshop and ALL materials fees. Recipients are responsible for the remaining 25% of tuition, which goes towards facilities maintenance and supplies.

How it works: When select classes still have spaces available in them one month (or less) prior to their start date, a seat will be offered to scholarship applicants. All approved applicants will receive an email indicating that an opportunity has become available to take that course. Spaces will be awarded to approved applicants on a first come first served basis, with preference given to applicants who have not received a scholarship space in that current 365/day cycle.

Qualifications for this scholarship include a commitment to further one's education in metal arts and clear artistic goals. All skill levels may apply for scholarships, but recipients must meet pre-requisites for a particular class or workshop in order to attend.

This event exceeded my expectations with how well it was organized and the friendly, competent staff. After more than 1,000 shows under my belt, Metalwerx has achieved a very strong attendance and pleasant buying atmosphere.
